A joint venture of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) with Shell will provide aviation turbine fuelling (ATF) services to airports in Mumbai and Delhi, said U. K.Basu, Managing Director, MRPL, a subsidiary of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation. He was speaking at a press meet in Mangalore on Saturday after the company's 23rd annual meeting. The ATF is produced by MRPL, which currently provides ATF to the airports in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mangalore, Ahmedabad and Kozhikode, he said.
The company's ATF sales have increased by 23 per cent to 67 TMT as against 54 TMT last year. Its total sales turnover of ATF was Rs.2,291 crore. A joint venture of MRPL with Shell B.V. Netherlands, markets the ATF. In 2010-11, the company fuelled 12,674 flights, said a handout from the company.
Mr. Basu said the company's single point mooring (SPM) facility in the sea in the Mangalore port area would not hinder fishing. “The SPM is not new in the Indian scenario. It is working all over India. It will be buried in the sea and will not cause a problem to fishing,” he said. Work would begin in November to April when the sea is calm, said Mr. Basu.
